Brazilian born Costa has been taking all the plaudits this season and sits at the top of the goalscoring charts with 17 goals. Olivier Giroud only has eight but this hasn’t dampened his confidence.

“I don’t have an inferiority complex. I don’t have their name, but — in terms of stats — I am just behind Costa and Aguero.”
